Hi girls. Just a very quick hello from Prague.They collected 13 mature eggs yesterday. They are all very nice at the clinic. Was feeling tired yesterday. Just got a call from Dr H, 9 have fertilized. So now its hoping and praying till Sunday. This thread is so busy at the moment. Its hard to keep up. Said a prayer of everyone on here at the child of Prague church.Take careMs Pinky

just wanted to say to Rainstorm, first off Roll call defo needs updating SO much happening on here, just Like most of the girls say, do what you think is right for you, I kinda get the feeling that you feel you can go for it, deal with the meeting then relax? sounds to me like you can do it, then go for it, I honestly believe we can get too wrapped up in the shoulds and should nots.

Lucy So excited about your call tomorrow girl! Crossing all for ya!

So, I think so far on the 2WW we have......Chanel, Millen1 & FireWolf,

Rainstorm I truly believe that fate is involved and I agree with the other girls that you should try and not be stressed go to your meeting and then take it easy. I am flying out Sunday also on aer Lingus and transfer at 11.00 on Monday so might see you there ? I am waiting till Wednesday purely because I booked the flights a few weeks ago and I wanted a window of flexibility. I think that doing everything by the book does not mean success but you must do what feels right. I am in the middle of my final accountancy exam and have lectures Friday and Saturday but I felt that it was my time to do this despite being advised to wait until the summer. I think we all go through so much that only us ladies know what's best for us!!

Rainstorm, do what you have to, I felt crazy telling them I couldn't go back fir FET until June because of work but you have to do what you have to do, and sometimes just turning up and doing what you need to get done is less dreadful than trying to explain your way out of it.......I would say do what you need to do.As you say, doing everything by the book is no guarantee so look after yourself as best you can and you'll be fine.I know a girl who went to Brno for DE, she had to go three times before it worked, and on the 3rd time she was so fed up and despondent (this was after 3 own egg in UK) she said feck this and flew to New York the next day (she's an air hostess so cheap flights) drank wine and did everything 'wrong'. That was the one that worked and her DD was 1 in Feb!

Firewolf, all messing aside, your post was gorgeous. You sound so happy today, and I'm thrilled for you.

Bfp, how are you? do do tell us all.

Jelly, when are you scheduled to fly out? I had my scan on Monday (yesterday). I'm working from my natural cycle this time (i.e. I'm not on any meds to suppress my system like Decap(eptyl), so dr Hana said that I should have a transfer asap.

Lucy35, I'm flying out the day after you.

Cube girls, I'm worried again. Frozen ET has been brought forward to Monday. Flying out on Sunday. ET on Monday and flying home straight after. No time the following day to chill, as I really HAVE to be in work for the morning. I can leave at lunchtime though. I know I know that getting pregnant should come first, but I just have to do this thing on Tuesday. Am I mad not giving myself enough time to relax. It will be taxi from Cube to airport. Minimal handluggage etc. Dh will drive us home and I'll relax all evening. Is that enough? Did anyone go straight from the Cube to the airport then work the next day? Girls, I'm lost. Should I just cancel this cycle? Thing is, we did everything right the last time, and the embies didn't take, so I'm not even that hopeful for try no.2. Having said that, I really want this to work. Helllllp

Millen1, best of luck on the 2ww, it really is awful !!, I'm afraid to test but in another way can't wait either, trying to hold out till the weekend.

Bfporbust, best of luck for transfer.

Firewolf, that is so exciting, is n't it so lovely to see the embies on the screen, an amazing feeling!

Jelly31, if you get on the green metro line at Museum/ Mustek metro stations in wencelas sq, go to the end of line which is dejvicka, go straight out centre exit , you are on the tram line and hop on tram number 20 /26 /36 signed for Divoka Sarka, get out at the 8th stop which is Nad Dzbanem, it'll only take about 20 minutes. best of luck

Girls , best wishes to all who are in Prague, or heading out shortly, thinking of you all.

Afm, 2ww is going ok, back to work this week so keeping busy, nervous & excited about testing at the weekend, hope I'll have good news for you all, to motivate everyone and give hope to you all.

Aww Firewolf - you have me in tears reading your post you med thing you. sooooo delighted for you - amazing story

Furb..... i am being completely over cautious this time around as I intend to stay soooooo relaxed during the process - (prob our last chance) that I will be horizontal girl as they say here in Cork. I dont think I will be in Cubw till June realistically waiting on all me and dh results. Ha its a miracle how this ivf business can make us so organised miracle for me anyway

Well hello from Prague! The sun has FINALLY made an appearance!! A good sign for all the Girls over here or travelling in next few days! it is cold however!

Jelly 31, Wencelas square is a good spot to take public transport from to the Cube, as it's quite near, taxis have a lot of one way streets to contend with so actualy take longer! I personally found the square to be noisy though, not ideal if you need to rest. These is a really good Hotel called The Diplomat, it is a four stop tram ride to the Cube VERY EASY, and is only a 2 stop metreo ride to centre of town, I.e Wencelas square. A fellow Cube buddy stayed there and found it great, she was on her own so suited her re carrying bags etc, oh it is also the last stop if you take the 119 bus from the airport!!

Maybe, great to hear from you! Sounds like you maybe cycling with Furb again if your days work out :-)!!!

furb, was laughing at your comment re me and the Child of Prague church teehee!! AsI speak DP is waiting for me to hurry up here, as it's four pm and we need to go NOW will say a special one for my wee furbness ;-)

Crap have to go..yes to child of Prague......but girls HAVE to tell yis quick what happened to me on ET yesterday... Dr Hana said our two darling embies had thawed nicely :-) so we were thrilled with that I was nervous they wouldn't, any we went into the connecting room ( seriously girls the goown went to my KNEES AND they have disposal slippers! ) anyway Dr Hana was showing us our two embies on the screen bedsore she transferred them, it was truly a magical moment as we could see them swimming away happy out! Even thought they might be waving at us teehee!!! Then suddenly Dr Hana and the embryologist get really excite!!!!!! One of our embies was dividing!! YES like they do as identical twins!!! There was a clear line, and they had already really spilt!!! SO OMG Girls!!!!!!! I COULD have a set of identical TWINS plus one inside me!!!!!!How freaky!!! teehee God we are STILL in shock!!!

Bfporbust, thinking of you gel and your wee embies!!!

Signing off now..going to Child of Prague church, going to have a late lunch too....after all I COULD be eating for FOUR now teehee YIKES!!!!

Maybe2 great to hear from you again we all need some time away after dec but lovely to have you back and great to hear you are heading back for your frosties hopefully I won't be too far behind you for mine sending you lots of baby dust and positive vibes for next week.

Dancer e-mail the cube and they will send you back a hi-teck perscription which you take to your chemist along with the perscription your own gp writes out just make sure your gp put's the hi teck meds on her one too. You seem to be going quicker than I thought since you are getting your meds organised when do you plan to head.

Bfprobust congratulations on your 9 fertilised that is brill news only 2 days to go and looks like you will have frosties left over when you deciede to go back for a bro or sis for your little one wishing you all the best for wed.

HI to all the new and old Cube girls!! I am returning to you from a spell of retirement. For all that don't know me, I did OE IMSI/PICSI cycle in Dec 2011 in Cube, I became pregnant but sadly I had a missed miscarriage diagnosed at the 7 week scan and a D&C followed. I have decided to jump back on the Cube train again, and I have 2 frosties waiting for me, FET is planned for next week estimated transfer date is 24th April 2012. Please add me to the roll call. Sorry for not keeping in touch but I needed to take a small break from the whole fertility world. I have been reading all your posts and look forward to joining in with you all.

BforBust - sending you lots of best wishes, I remember how anxious it was waiting for Day 5 to come as I was convinced that our little beanies wouldnt make it that far as we have DNA issues - try and be strong and put your faith in CUBE, Cube got us 4 day 5 blastocysts no other clinic ever got us that far!

Dancer - Regarding the meds, I rang the HSE regarding this issue and they told me that the foreign prescription must be rewritten by your GP including the high tech items and both prescriptions given to your pharmacist who then fax them to the HSE in your area, this way you dont have to get a consultant to rewrite the high tech script.

Congrats bfporbust - that is a great result. I wish you all the very best for Day 3. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Firewolf - hope all is going great for you too - much love and positive vibes going your way

I have a quick question for any girls here from Cork. Sorry its about re-writing prescriptions and I know this has been discussed in past but cannot find the posts. CFC always rewrote mine and now they do not do it. Any suggestions on anyone else ie hospitals or anything to go to. I could ask my doctor to re-write it but I think they look for a high tech prescription in the chemist for some of the meds which my doctor cannot do? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks so much

Hijust a quick note wishing you ladies travelling to Prague so much strength and good luck. Fire wolf you are so funny I had such a perfect picture of you at the airport.Chanel hope your 2WW not to unbearable.Dancer you are so right this thread is a great comfort, it helped me so much from deciding to go the Cube. I don't post so often now, but always keep a eye on you all sending the vibes.Take care all, and best wishesten x

Firewolf wishing you lots of luck on mon and don't take up resedence in the child of prague church you will not need it this time this is your time girl sending lots of baby dust your way this is the one.

Girls the cube give you little paper slipers so no need to bring your own they are supplied with the gown.

Just want to pop in and say to all of you women over in Prague now and travelling in the next few days I am wishing and visualizing all the most positive vibes, baby dust etc. possible for all of ye. And remember lots of people reading through the thread are thinking of you and wishing you all the same. I believe in group energies so stongly (big ole hippy at heart - I know) - stay strong all of you and keep your chins up. You are all so strong - we will all look back on this one day with our little ones and we will feel so proud of ourselves and how we coped through such awful times. I read through this thread all the time and am so overwhelmed and inspired by the amazing women who write here. Our torture is completely silent in everyda and get all the support we need from everyone here. Even though we have never met each other its great to be able to support each other. Big hugs to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bfporbust special love to you over there at the moment. I am so sorry that you have to cope with your mum at the same time as this. I'm glad to hear she is well.

Special hugs to Firewolf as well - we cycled around the same time in Cube in Dec/ Jan. Take care of yourself hun and I'll be thinking of you with me candles burning xxxxxxxxx

Furb - think of ya all the time. How are your bloods going. Have you managed to get them done again? When do you think you will go back to Cube now? Hope we can support each other again this time. We will do it this time - Much love xxxxxxxxx

Flights and accomodation booked., have told work and now Ready to rock and roll :)

I know some people have been lucky with winging the flights, personally I had to wait until the last minute. I thought during the week that I might have been able to fly this weekend. Turns out I have to wait till Monday. Waiting for the go ahead was nerve racking. And now very overwhelming that I am actually going. I have had several 'meltdowns' in the last 24 hours, very small things and I am crying my eyes out. I am blaming the drugs!

Girls, is there anything I need to bring with me, apart from a longer robe maybe!! Would slippers be handy? Can you wear anything under the gown?

There are so many heading to Prague in the next while. It's no wonder they have an Irish contact number on the website :)

Chanel, your one week down, half way there now ;)

Millen1 best of luck tomorrow.

FireWolf will be praying for you on Tuesday as I fly into Prague

Bfporbust Good Luck on Friday

Lucy35 I might even see you on Sunday :)

And to all the others getting started or waiting to get started the best of luck. We are all due some good luck ;) I think I should ask my mother to leave the blessed candles lighting 24 hours a day for the next few weeks for us all.

BFP best of luck and to all travelling to Prague hope to god there is more than the two of ye travelling home!! everything crossed for you all. Hope to be heading over soon ourselves very soon pls God. Not sure about winging the flight but I dod think Aerlinus offer a refund minus a cancellation fee so might be a safe option check out their T&C's.
